Welcome to the Brabazon Blog! We are trying to get a forum going that would be more instantaneous and universal than either the family website (brabazonarchive.com) or separate emailing. We have commenced with a handful of topics - taken from the website - to kick-start conversations. Your suggestions for additional areas of interest and emails of a personal nature can be sent to Michael Brabazon at mbbrabazon@yahoo.co.uk

As we are probably all now aware, the Brabazon Clan is not homogenous but rather a mosaic of smaller genetic groupings, sometimes explicable by descent via a Brabazon female line, sometimes due to the adoption of the Brabazon name for various known or unknown reasons. By casting the discussion network as wide as possible perhaps we can begin to shed more light on each of the sub-lineages of the Clan - worldwide brainstorming, so to speak!

The Earl and Countess of Meath remain the standard bearers of the Brabazon name, and I think we would all agree that we have an excellent family at the very heart of the Brabazon Clan. Across the spectrum of our Family we are a good microcosm of Irishness in all its cultural forms and our cohesiveness in diversity is perhaps the best testimony to the greatness of our ancestors. So start blogging and let's see where it goes!

For Australians and New Zealanders, Anzac Day on 25th April each year has special significance. For me it is a time to remember with pride but sorrow, my Uncle "Jack" Gibson who was killed fighting in Europe in World War I.

My father "Tony" Brabazon was also involved in that war; apparently he and other "boys", having just finished at The Kings School near Sydney, put their age on a year to enable them to enlist in the AIF, and were shipped off to Europe. The war ended before Dad saw front line service; he returned to Australia via USA and I remember being excited when he told me as a little girl about his adventures there, especially in New York. -Ann
